Was not sure if there was another good place to put this but I am needing a couple items done and would rather pay a 4x4er instead of a local garage?
First thing I need is a bit of welding on my exhaust! 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ, got looking at it last night and the previous owner had wrapped "tin" (thin sheet metal) of some sort around the pipe just in front of Catalytic converter, and put hose clamps on to hold it all. Naturally this failed on the 20 mile drive from Summerfield to Kernersville and my exhaust now ends just in front of the cat.
It looks like everything else is pretty legit, I was thinking it would all be rotted out but just this simple cut that needs to be welded together, or spliced / clamped, don't really know? I could drive it (LOUD and no backpressure) down to a shop but if you have a welder you can bring with you, and some materials, give me a shout? Heck you probably could just splice in a new section of pipe, clamp it all down good, no welder needed?
This is the section OVER the skidplate, so a PITA to get to, thus the reason I am punting!
Other stuff... if you happened to want to do an oil change and new filter I would be good with that vs local shop. My filter is likely from 2007-2008 timeframe and I think the seal was DRY and thus oil was coming out around it on that notorious drive home. Good amount of wet / hot oil and that is the only real source on that side of the engine. I figure a new filter / oil change would be a good first step here. I could do that myself but I never change my own oil, do not have the wrenches, pans, want to dispose of old oil and such. Worst case I will pay the garage to do this but if you are willing and able?
I am near the Walmart in Kernersville, we can talk timing and such if you want to reply here or send PM.
